Bulls lose to three refs in Detroit

[pdenninggolden]

I would like to see the Bulls play with more intensity, focus, and purpose.

First of a 6 game losing streak....just sit back & dont get too upset about it...

we'll still make playoffs

It's a little harder to imagine the playoffs after playing so lackluster over the recent easy stretch of games. Hopefully, playing some hard competition and generally having more time together they will gel and start to be more consistent. This team hasn't been consistent since April-May 2007, ages ago.

Have we won 3 games in a row this year? I have to check.

No the Bulls have not, and they did not do it all of last year either.

Would be nice. But I don't see Vinny as a Skiles type to demand that of this particular team. I think hiring a first timer like Vinny was kind of a signal that its 'ok' for this to be a developmental year. The team doesn't seem to take losses quite as hard as last year, expectations are lower. Sometimes with lower expectations comes less striving to exceed them unfortunately.

well, I thought the Bulls just could not get over the momentum hump. It looked to me the Bulls didn't believe they had a prayer at any point, even during that 3rd quarter run. Either a ref would call a phantom or lame call against Rose and Gordon, or Maxiell would make a very nice play at the right time to snuff out the Bulls hopes. Besides them watching Stuckey The Great slackjawed. Pax should make a deal with the devil to get ahold of one of these Maxiell, Millsap, Carl Landry even types. If Pax has the wherewithal. A player like that who is transformative during a game would be great. Of course, you need a stable team to make a guy like that to work best for you. I'm alway jealous of team with GMs who pull these sorts of players out of their anusesezzz.

I have to disagree. Bulls lost because they can't score consistently.

We lost to three officials and a career once in a lifetime game by Rodney Stuckey . Had to correct you there a little Doug .

wow @ iverson and stuckey with 53 shots combined

EDIT: that entire game was weird

the pistons only take 5 3 pointers and dont make not a one while the kings were only 3-14 themselves

the pistons get to the line 24 times making 18 of them while the kings get to the line 34 times making 33 of them

kings not only outrebound detriot but they ended up with 19 offensive rebounds...all of that, and the pistons still win

Rodney Stuckey 38 pts 4 rebs 7 asts 2 stls
